Walking the steps to Sacre Coeur

Taking my 31 videos yesterday on my set of steps really made me think about what it means visually to be on a pilgrimage. What represents what one is looking for on a pilgrimage...is it the view from the top, looking up, looking down? What is one really looking for....the liminal state of the journey, or is that just means to an end? I think we've pretty much established that there is no concrete definition for a pilgrim/pilgrimage...but I'm wondering if any ''pilgrim'' really goes on this grueling journey for anyone but themselves. I mean the Peace Pilgrim must've had some benefit from doing what she did, whether it be not having to work a 9-5 job or internal gratification for fighting violence. I guess what I'm wondering is if pilgrimage can ever be completely selfless. Anyways...I would like to post video but I don't know how...so if anyone knows hit me up!
